To our old friend and instructor IN
the aart preservative," Mr. Henry G.
Mathews, we extend our best wishes
for success in his new business, and
happiness and peace.
WE are compelled to decline the
request made by some friends that
we publish our photograph and
sketch of life that appeared in the
Harrisburg Telegram last Saturday.
We are obliged to the Telegram for
honorary notice, hope we may be
able to make our mark, ETC., but
self-laudation we hope is not one OF
our traits, as we have long since
heard that sself-praise is no praise. Z

Written for the INDEPENDENT.
From north and south, from east and
west,
Comes throngs of buyers eager,
| Because our prices are the best,
To suit the means when meager.
| Here comes the tolling artisans,
To save an honest penny,
| The hOrney handed farmer, too
| To seek the bargains many.
The rich and poor they throng our door
Each one the chance embraces;
They buy their goods, and from our
| store,
Go home with happy faces.
We wage war on prices high,
| Our banners are now unfurled
| With a mammoth stock and prices low,
We surely can beat the world.
The writers of this poetry,
| Are merchants that youtknOw,
And the height of their ambition
Is to lay the prices low.
The readers learn this lesson
Without thinking very hard,
] And the fullest information
Is given on this card.

why No Two Of These Elegant Works -
Art Are Exactly Alike.
persian rug are all made by hand.
without a single exception. They are
stretched on frames a. one would make
a sampler, and all the family work on
them. A pattern for that particular
carpet is before them. which they fol-
low with more or less precision, &C
cording as their fancy suits them. AZ
q rule. considerable license il allowed
for the expression Of individual taste in
working out these patterns. No two
carpets are therefore exactly alike, and
the owner Of an old Persian rug may
be reasonably lure that while he may
find other rugs resembling his. not one
that is absolutely identical exists. This
quality gives them . value similar to
that possessed by IN oil painting"
The Persian Government has inter-
dicted the use Of aniline dyes, which
threatened 1t one time to ruin the soft
harmonious tints Of the product Of the
Persian loom. The rugs Of Turkestan
(u~lst1keuiy colicu OOAnto ~
dyed with anilinc frequently, since
Turkestan il now under Russian in
stead Of Persian control; and the intro
duction Of machine methods and exact
reproductions into Sultanabad in Turk
estan, which has recently taken place,
may prove q death blow to this pecul-
lar industrial art. There il n kind
| OF rug made in Persia which never
leaves that country, on account Of il
great weight and bulk and consequent
cost Of transportation. This il . kind
Of carpet felt, called namads. The
ground Is made first the design being
| beaten in with mallets on M surface
only. Another rug which rarely reach
cs Europe il the ''ghilleem," made
wholly or partly Of cotton. The rich
colors are impcrishable, and the rug
can be washed like a piece Of calico

HOW 70 DUST 4 ROOM.

A Household Duty Whose Thorough Per-
formance Requires Considerable Work.
The proper way to dust a room is to
begin with the walls. Pin several thick
nesses Of cloth over a broom and sweep
the walls down thoroughly, leaving at
the same time all the doors and win
dows open. This matter Of sweeping
the walls Is important and should be
done once . week in rooms that are
much used. Then with q damp cloth
wipe on the picture cords or wires, the
backs Of all the picture frames and the
tops Of the door and window frames.
II there Is any danger Of injuring pict-
ures or frames with q damp cloth use q
dry one. but wipe them AL Of care
fully. As often . you can get a good
draft which will carry the dust out Of
the window. shake and beat the cur
tains. whether they be Holland, lace.
scrim or what not, for they are prime
sinners in the matter Of harboring dust.
The window-sash. sill and glass
| should also receive attention. Use q
large cloth, with half Of Il well damp
ened for busting, the dry end being
useful to wipe Of small articles that
might be injured by dampness-and be
careful that you manipulate the cloth
80 As to wipe the dust into il and keep
Il there. II it gets dirty have a clean
one, and always wash them on and
scald them after using. II there are
inside shutters to the windows they
need to be cared for almost rs tcnderly
as a baby. A thorough cleaning every
week. carefully wiping both upper and
under sides Of the Stats, is the only
thing that will keep them in decent
order. A room Is not thoroughly dust
ed until all the furniture and wood
work and gas fixtures have been cleaned
with the damp buster. Upholstered
furniture should be taken out, brushed
all wei and then wiped with the damp
cloth. not forgetting the under sidc.--
